Waiting in for a parcel. Already over an hour past delivery slot, no further info. Will it actually arrive? Will I get to do the shopping today? Wasting the one nice day of the week hanging about, and it isn’t even for me. 😡

Not going anywhere this morning - I need tea, and my feet are going numb, but there is snoring. She is very warm, and surprisingly heavy for something mostly fluff.

Been writing a bunch of exposition and in-depth character stuff on the serious book recently, so switching it up today with the fic, writing a very violent fight for Monster bloke. Six foot plus of muscles and bad temper in a fight club arena. He‘s finished punching things, and picked up a sword.

So - finally had my post surgery review re huge chunk of thyroid removed. All Clear. 🥳 Got a blood test next week to see if I need any meds, but I’m basically boring. All the WTF it was came out clean, I am so relieved.

Game casserole, with a sloe gin gravy, and a potato-celeriac mash. It tastes of chestnuts and the kind of homemade happy juice that brings regret. (But not while eating it)
